RT Vegas Community Plays: Pokemon Go!

For those who are unfamiliar with other shenanigans I participate in, I also host community events within the Rooster Teeth community. The 15th of every month has been dubbed #RTCommunityDay. Since Pokemon Go is fairly new and Saturday the 16th was when most people were available this month, we decided to head over to a local park and try our hand at Pokemon Go.

It was a lot of fun! I mean a LOT of fun. There aren’t many instances where we can go out and meet other people with such a strong and immediate common ground tying us together, but it happened. Towards the end of the night, all of us were trying to take down a gym, and we found new comrades and friends who helped us. (YEAH, VALOR, but for real, Instinct kicked our asses…)

If you haven’t tried it yet, I encourage you to give Pokemon Go a shot. However, please be careful when playing it. Be aware of your surroundings, be aware of other people around you, and use common sense on when and when not to play it.

I am pleasantly surprised by the number of people who were open to friendly conversation. This game is really changing how people interact with one another. At least for the time being. Really looking forward to another Pokemon Go outing. Enjoy the vid, and I will see you guys in the next livestream!

This is "And Now Just Listen" featuring Avery, Nick, Justin and Lewes. We talk about games, tech, movies, and get sidetracked a lot. Interested in contributing? Email inquiries to andnowjustlisten@gmail.com.
